eternal python
#

can someone show how they've subbed in 4 and 2 and have managed to manipulate everything in root twos,

#

2022 P2 ^

acoustic storm
#

which question is this

#

@eternal python

eternal python
#

8

acoustic storm
#

2022 paper 2

#

ok

eternal python
#

yh

#

4 and 2 are the limits i just cant see how they've manipulated it

#

i only lost 1 mark anyway but still

acoustic storm
#

this one

acoustic storm
#

multiply 0 by 4rootx

#

(x-2)(x-4)=0

#

x=4

#

x=2

misty wedge
#

Then they expanded evrything and divided by 4 sqrt(x)

eternal python
#

bro i know what to do

#

i just cant manipulate it at the end

compact light
#

What can’t you manipulate

#

The root 2s are just there as a result of substituting 2 into the terms

eternal python
#

its bc of my calcultor

acoustic storm
#

Times 0 by 4rootx

#

(x-2)(x-4)

#

X=2 x=4

eternal python
#

omds thats nto what i mean. at the end after you integrate and find the integral, you need plug in 4 and 2

#

and get the answer in root2 s

#

i cant do it bc when i put the values in my cal it doesnt simply to a surd, it shows it as a decimal

#

its fine forget it

#

its one mark

acoustic storm
#

sorry for missreading

halcyon belfry
#

and you can simplify using that

compact light
#

Ur either writing something wrong or just have the worst A level calculator if it can’t even represent things in surd form

halcyon belfry
compact light
#

“Write your answer in exact form” writes 0.1941125497…

halcyon belfry
#

lol

compact light
halcyon belfry
#

wait can it show that

compact light
#

Mine sure can if that’s what you mean

halcyon belfry
#

oh yeah but thats the CG50

#

wait actualy thats a simple surd

#

mine could probably do that too

#

they probably typed it in wrong then

#

better to do integration calculations where it asks for exact value in your head though

#

or part by part in the calculator

compact light
#

I just write out the entire equation with x and I can change variables of x in my calculator so it’s quick

halcyon belfry
#

i dont think my calculator can do that

#

im probably gonna get the one you have when i start further maths next year

#

i dont want it but i think we need it for certain parts of the course

eternal python
#

clearly mine

compact light
#

Well

eternal python
halcyon belfry
#

What calculator you got

eternal python
#

see the picture abover

halcyon belfry
#

Wait I have the same one it just doenst have the solar panel

#

I thought mine can do it

eternal python
#

just try it and see

halcyon belfry
#

Alr one sec

fresh iron
halcyon belfry
#

Yeah this is shit

#

The one I had before could do it

fresh iron
#

Buy a cg50

halcyon belfry
#

How did my one at gcse do it but this cant

#

My shit downgraded

halcyon belfry

eternal python
#

does anyone acc know how to do it algebraically?

halcyon belfry
#

It can represent the form as well so idk what's wrong

halcyon belfry
#

Take something to the power of 1/2 as root

#

You can take the numerator as normal power

#

And simply using that

#

E.g. 2^(3/2)

#

Is root (2^3)

fresh iron
halcyon belfry
#

Which is root 8 which is 2 root 2

halcyon belfry
#

Wow that's cool

fresh iron
#

Dyu get it

#

Oh you weren’t the one asking the q nvm

eternal python
fresh iron
wanton plinthBOT
#

Pringle

fresh iron
#

$$(\sqrt{2})^5 = \sqrt{2} * \sqrt{2} * \sqrt{2} * \sqrt{2} * \sqrt{2}$$

wanton plinthBOT
#

Pringle

eternal python
#

its alright

#

thanks for this

compact light
misty wedge
# eternal python

its because u put ur powers as fracion put it in root format u will get it

#

damn it actually doesnt
